There's no reason you couldn't map http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/... to: http://www.my-ip-provider.com/mirrors/www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/... which CERN HTTPD will already do. Then it's just an administrative matter of distributing the maps. Since CERN gave away the libraries, everyone uses them so everyone does proxies compatible with CERN. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Network Management Technology Incorporated 'U` 1601 Industrial Blvd. Sugar Land, TX 77478 USA +1 713 274 5180 "Hast Du heute schon Deinen Wolf umarmt?"
